In 2025, the 93% sulfuric acid market recorded significant price increases in major markets. In China, the market began the year at moderate levels but continued to climb as sulfur costs increased and demand was firm for chemical and fertilizer production. India recorded a variable trend in early 2025, with prices dipping initially before rising in line with a good Rabi season and resulting demand for phosphate fertilizers. By mid-year, supply constraints and rising production costs also pushed up prices in India, with the market remaining active.
The European market for 93% sulfuric acid commenced the year at stable levels due to sustained demand in industrial markets. However, in the second half of 2025, European prices recorded an upward trend due to an increase in import parity costs and sulfur costs. North American markets also recorded an upward trend in 2025, remaining stable in the first half of the year before rising in the second half due to sustained demand in fertilizer and industrial markets and elevated raw material costs.

This report presents an up-to-date, detailed cost analysis of sulphuric acid production via tail gas purification using hydrogen peroxide abatement.
This report presents the economics of sulphuric acid production from iron pyrite. In this industrial process, gas produced from the heating of iron pyrite (iron sulfide) is first treated to purify and isolate sulfur dioxide (SO2). This gas typically contains impurities that are removed to increase the efficiency of the subsequent steps. Once purified, the sulfur dioxide is then converted into sulfur trioxide (SO3) through a catalytic oxidation process. This conversion is typically facilitated by a catalyst such as vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) at high temperatures. The sulfur trioxide produced is a key intermediate used in the manufacture of sulfuric acid.
